For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a 

clear pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic 

image. Adjust the slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly 

defined. You may notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one 

point. Use either setting in such cases. 

• Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of 

the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, 

so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled. 

Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire 

image indicates poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that 

the image quality is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is 

maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be optimized. 

• Sync Level (Component sources only): Select Sync Level to adjust the 

voltage level of the PD7170 Sync signal detection circuitry.

Sync Level adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV 

source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with 

explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the projector to 

temporarily lose sync. If the Sync Level from the source is persistently too low, 

the projector won’t sync with the source at all. 

The range is from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 

240 mV and should rarely require adjustment.

Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below). If
